Wildcatter Wedding Weekend

So this past weekend, Logan and I went to my roommates wedding in Graham, TX at the Wilcatter Resort and Spa. It was a blast!!! Our clan took over the whole resort and the view from up there in the Hill Country was breathtaking. Although the wedding was freezing cold, we were all just happy that it was blue, sunny skies!

The night before the wedding (after the rehearsal dinner) we felt like it would be a good idea to sprint to the hot tub and take a warm dip. We all suited up in our Wildcatter spa robes and braved the 29 degree weather. As we were in there (ears about to fall off) it started SNOWING... yes, in March. Gotta love that Texas weather... On our way back John Paul made the comment "So now I know what the people on the Titanic felt like." haha! We made sure NOT to go back the next night...

Overall it was a great weekend spent w/ all my besties in town! :)

Viva Las Vegas Clan

So I finally got to meet the last remaining sibling and his family... Josh and Christine and cuties Harper and Griffin.

They were on Spring Break and just in for a day trip to Dallas and I was so excited that I got to meet up w/ them at lunch. Harper is QUITE the little Diva- in a very sweet way! Shes just this little cupcake that you just want to put in your pocket... and believe me, if you comment on how cute her curly hair is, you are her new best friend!!! And camera shy? I think not!

Griffin is adorable and loves to be held and passed around. He is a fast little runner too, you have to watch him pretty closely or he can disappear in a flash!

I cant wait to go visit the Vegas clan this summer w/ my sister and mom and see Josh's Cirque Du Soleil show!

Katy meets the Fam

So I have to admit, this trip was really special to me b/c Katy got to finally see and experience France and The Colorado and meet some of Logan's wonderful family that doesnt live in the US!


We were all jealous b/c she got to meet the newest addition to the Misegades clan, Ryan Michael Isaac, before all of us! He looks like a cutie, cant wait to meet him!




She hung out with the girls, helped Kaylin celebrate her 4th birthday, did some sight seeing, and ate GREAT food. (Good job, Bob!)

Sheri was in Dallas with me and Logan to visit her folks. It was pretty funny b/c Bob and I were on the phone with each other BOTH at the airport at the same time on opposite sides of the world swapping family members!

Katy said it was a perfect R&R weekend and was a little taste of home to help her "homesickness." (not sure if thats a word or not but I just made it one!)

We miss you Katy....you know how jealous I am, I wish I could be abroad!!!! Enjoy it while you are over there! :)

I'm Dreaming of a French Christmas...

I decided to start a blog for our friends and family (which are literally ALL OVER THE WORLD) to keep up with the big things (and probably some trivial things) going on in our lives!

It only took me 3 months, but I wanted to re-cap our trip to France at Christmas!!! I hope you all enjoy :) Bisous!

__________________________________

For those of you who havent met Logan, he is my boyfriend of 10 months and conveniently enough, "Meeting the Family" involved an international trip to France over Christmas! His family moved over there 30 years ago as missionaries and are still there running a precious Bed and Breakfast called "The Colorado." I highly recommend everyone to go visit at some point! (Katy just got back from visiting during her stint in Spain)

This was my first international experience! We flew into Paris, had a quick 24 hour tour, and then headed 5 hours to Egletons (In Central France) to spend the holidays with his family. His sister and brother-in-law live next door to the Misegades and have 3 cuties Kaylin (4) , Sofia (2) , and now Ryan (2 months).

We scaled the countryside visiting old medieval towns and castle ruins... I tried all sorts of new cuisine- foi gras, escargot, canard, raclette, among other things. Mrs. (Sheri) Misegades is a 5 star chef! My favorite places were Sarlat (the medieval town where they filmed Ever After) and Beynac (in the Valley of 5 Chateaux). In addition to the sight seeing, I got to meet the friends, try out my broken French (thanks to Rosetta Stone) , and finally see where the Frenchy grew up. It was wonderful. Shout out to Elodie and her wonderful English :) You were a lifesaver!

We finished the trip off in Paris. We stayed with a family friend (Alex) and visited all the hot spots - Notre Dame (breathtaking), The Eiffel tower, The Lourve (where I bought my very first piece of original art) , The Latin Quarter, l'Opera, Champs Elysee, and a boat ride down the Seine River topped off with Nutella-filled crepes... My stomach is growling just thinking about it... Paris is everything and more than I imagined it would be! (Especially all lit up at Christmas)

Thanks to the Misegades clan for such a wonderful (White!!!) Christmas... Au Revior! A Bientot!
